About Nelson I consider myself a fighter. All my life I fought for what I believed in! I don’t think it’s fair that white people mistreat the black community , so I stood up against my country´s national party. As I was struggling against the government, they needed to put me away, so I spent 27 years in prision. For sure you all have heard about the apartheid in my homeland, South Africa. I hope I can be an inspire all of you to go ahead and fight for what you believe in , because we all have to struggle to accomplish our dreams , no matter who stands in our way .

If you are the voice of reason nothing can be able to stop you

"The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”“For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”
